Has anyone ever heard or of dealt with Metal Detecting Adventures Inc. As I had a pre-order in with Backwoods metal detectors. And am still waiting. But the last Friday got a call from metal detecting adventures asking if I got my manticore. But they asked for George. And did not know what a pro find 35 was. And said that they are getting a shipment of Manticores in this coming week. and would be able to fill my pre-order. Do I trust them with a credit card order?

Sounds a little strange to me. The fact they don't know Minelabs products is a red flag in itself. And how did they know you were in the market for a Manticore? I would stick with Richard, he a well known and trusted dealer. And if you can't wait, keep checking Bass Pro's or Cabelas website. They seem to get them quicker than our dealers do. Good luck.

Yes sir. Just out of curiosity did you mention to anyone on any social media platform about ordering or even wanting a Manticore ?This information age we live in is a double edged sword to put it mildly. Our right to privacy has gone out the window and the younger generation doesn't seem to care. My kids tell me DAD thats how things are done these days. I say no and try to warn them of the dangers but they just think I'm an old fuddy duddy. Hope you get a Manticore soon. I'll probably be ordering one here shortly myself. Mark

Hay Mark thanks but no never brought it up to anyone other than my detecting buddy. I just moved back from Florida to NY. And had no one interested in detecting in Florida or NY. If he calls back I intend to ask how he came across my name.
 
I got lucky.. on a whim I contacted my local Metal detecting / prospecting shop (The Miner's Cache in Redding CA) and asked if they had a waiting list for the Manticore, they did and I got on the list! Then literally a few days later they called me and said they had two Manticore's in and I was #3 on their list and #2 got cold feet and backed out.. so, though I was a little nervous spending $1,700 (with tax) I said Heck yes.. got it the same day! I've had mine about 3 weeks now..

Super. What great luck. Still waiting on mine I am #6 on the Backwoods list. From what I have seen on youtube that machine is a killer. Good luck with yours.
